Hello: I've recently installed RedHat 8.0 on a system, and I was trying to load ethereal 0.9.7 onto it. I read the FAQ and looked at previous messages in this userlist, but was unable to find information about the particular problem that is occurring.
When I go to install the ethereal-base-0.9.7-1.7.2.i386.rpm on my system, I get the error that ucd-snmp and libsnmp.so.0 are needed by this rpm file. I go to get the latest version of ucd-snmp, but RH 8.0 already has a later version installed by default (net-snmp 5.0.1), so it seems asinine to uninstall a newer version of the package to get ethereal to work. Is ethereal just looking in the wrong place for the install of net-snmp, or do I actually need an older version of it to get ethereal running? I also read that ethereal 0.9.6 should already be installed on the default install of a redhat 8 box, but all i see that is installed is tethereal. I'm probably just making some sort of easily-fixable mistake, and it probably isn't worth sending to the news group, but I couldn't seem to find any solutions in the normal places. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Cameron Hummels
